Nature of the beast. Get a big 32oz bottle of MPro7 of SLIP and when you get back from the range pull the BCG, spray it down, wait a minute, wipe it with a rag. Dissassemble BCG and wipe bolt and cam pin, push a couple wet patches inside the carrier to get the bulk of the crap out. Put a wet...

I used this setup when moving from my AI AT to my SR25 ACC and back. Its a Larue QD riser mount which has a slight cantilever, and a Spuhr SP4001. Worked perfectly.

Bryan Litz had some interesting findings of case annealing using an AMP induction annealer in his book "Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting", pg 144-153. Using both .223 and .308 Lapua brass he ran one 10rd group with no annealing, one 10rd group annealed on the 5th firing, and one 10rd...

AI AT keeps evolving. Love this rifle! ​​​​​​ ​​​​​​

I have ranged to 1500yds with the Sig Kilo 2400, but that was a fairly large 4'x4' target. I don't think you will get 2k and certainly not on a man size target.

I recently went through this with my load development. I can shoot out to 1500 yds, so ES is more important to me than SD and while I was getting SDs of 10 or 11 and ES of about 30, it was a little too much. I think the most important aspect of a load is finding the flat spot for velocity, i.e...

I have a model 70 supergrade in .338 win mag. I reload for every caliber I own, except that one. I just don't shoot it enough to justify a different powder. Its not very pleasant to shoot and after I found a factory load that it likes (Barnes 225gr TTSX) I just bought two boxes of ammunition...

OCW target in PDF and JPEG. http://practicalrifler.fr.yuku.com/topic/1269/OCW-OFFICIAL-TEST-TARGET#.WUrHmBMrIdV I normally print these out on card stock paper so I get clean holes vs. tears in the paper. The grid with a consistent POA will normally show you when the barrel is at max whip and...

Here is an OCW with my AI AT using an 24" AI 6.5 CM barrel. New Lapua brass sized .288, CCI 450 primers, H4350 and Berger 140gr Hybrids jammed .05 into lands. 42.5gr put 5 shots into 1.2" at 300yds with 4/5 in 3/4". Moving forward I'm going to .290 bushing for the Lapua brass (.288 is really...

A couple things to consider: What is the value of firearms you intend to place in the safe vs getting gun insurance? Why do you want the safe, i.e irreplaceable family heirloom weapons so you are looking to prevent theft, high value weapons, or are you just looking to keep honest people...

Here is my Saker 7.62 on an AI AT with 24" 6.5 CM. Didn't chrono with the can on so I don't know if I get any boost in velocity.

I've got a batch of the 4064 loaded up at 41.5 and 42 with OAL at 2.89. Hope to get out today and see what the difference is now with once fired Lapua. I went with that OAL based on ABMs loaded 185 Berger target ammuntion. Any recommendation on OAL into or off the lands with Varget at 44.1?

I just added my results for 185gr Bergers in Lapua brass, IMR4064 and Varget, and CCI BR2 from my 20" AI AT. These were loaded long, 2.90 so just remember that if you use any of the data...
